"We are not afraid to explore the real side of the relationship and the challenges," Dan Amboyer, who plays William, said while promoting the movie at a meeting of the Television Critics Association.[2] "Diana features in the film," Alice St. Clair, who portrays Middleton, said. "There is just really a great sense of relationships within the family. So there is William's relationship with his father and his brother, and you see him calling upon Diana's interview, and watching this interview that Diana did and using her words to kind of guide him through his troubled moments.".[2]

Garber, who plays the Prince of Wales, said the recent unavoidable worldwide television wedding event has likely boosted the public mood regarding Britain's monarchy. "I think it has done an enormous service to the royal family, and I think that this film really sort of attempts to kind of humanize them," he said. "I think because enough time has passed since the tragedy of Diana’s death, that they’re sort of being seen in a different way. And I think that William and Kate have definitely had an enormously positive effect on their reputation, on their how they are perceived." Even Garber’s character has likely enjoyed a boost in popularity, unthinkable once. "I think that he was vilified in a way," he said. "Over time that has sort of softened, and yes, I think I certainly my opinion of him has changed somewhat having played him and listened to him. I think he’s kind of an amazing guy, actually." [3]

The movie is directed by and produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Linda Yellen (Playing for Time), the co-producer is Emmy Award nominee Brad Krevoy (Taking Chance).

The movie aired on August 27, 2011 in the United States on the Hallmark Channel,[4] the movie was filmed on location in Bucharest.[5]

Hallmark Channel

The Hallmark Channel is an American cable and satellite television network that is owned by Crown Media Holdings, which is majority owned by Hallmark Cards. The channels programming is targeted at families, and features a mix of television movies and miniseries, original and acquired television series. As of February 2015, Hallmark Channel is available to approximately 85,439,000 pay television households in the United States, the Hallmark Channel traces its history to the launch of two separate religious cable channels, the American Christian Television System and the Vision Interfaith Satellite Network. The two networks began alternating time on a shared transponder slot on the Galaxy III satellite in 1992, under the original timeshare agreement, the network was branded as VISN/ACTS. Each network was provided time for its programming blocks, and would use their own logos, VISN launched on July 1,1988, and was founded by the National Interfaith Cable Coalition, in cooperation with several cable providers. Roman Catholic, LDS Church, Jewish, and Islamic faiths also provided programming, VISN aired during the morning and evening hours. ACTS commenced operations in 1984, and was owned by the Southern Baptist Convention, both channels aired several hours a week of religious childrens programs, some of which overlapped, including Sunshine Factory, Joy Junction, Davey and Goliath, and Jot. In 1993, the network was renamed as the Faith and Values Channel and it began adding a few secular programs during this time, such as exercise shows, health and cooking shows, and family-oriented drama series and movies. In 1995, cable conglomerate Tele-Communications Inc. acquired a 49% ownership stake in the Faith and Values Channel and it added more secular programming to the network and reduced religious programming to about 10 hours a day. In 1996, the network was rebranded as the Odyssey Network, and launched a website, Odysseyfamily. com, the channel began to focus more on family-targeted entertainment programming including some classic sitcoms, childrens programs and additional family-oriented movies. Henson sold its interest in the channel to Crown Media Holdings in 2000, Odyssey then dropped much of its childrens programs and relegated religious programming to a few hours on Sundays. On August 5,2001, the channel underwent yet another rebranding, relaunching as the Hallmark Channel, the restructured network completely dropped religious programming, but continued to focus on family-oriented sitcoms and drama series, dramatic films and other general entertainment programs. The National Interfaith Cable Coalition continued to own about 5% of the channel, david Evans was appointed as CEO of the newly-developing network, until he resigned in May 2006. The network remained without a formal CEO until October 2006, when former Court TV chairman and CEO Henry Schleiff was appointed in the position, overseeing all of the networks’ divisions. In January 2007, Hallmark Channel dropped the Hallmark crown from its logo, although it is used sporadically on-air, in promos. On May 27,2007, Hallmark Channel launched Watch With Me, a new public affairs initiative aimed to promote programming for families to watch together. In 2008, Hallmark Channel unveiled a new branding campaign with predominantly gold coloring, a logo. Henry Schlieff stepped down as the channels CEO on May 6,2009, both parties said Schleiffs departure was amicable

Cinema of the United States
–
The cinema of the United States, often metonymously referred to as Hollywood, has had a profound effect on cinema across the world since the early 20th century. The dominant style of American cinema is Classical Hollywood Cinema, which developed from 1917-1960, while the French Lumière Brothers are generally credited with the birth of modern cinema, it is American cinema that soon became the most dominant force in an emerging industry. Since the 1920s, the American film industry has grossed more money every year than that of any other country, in 1878, Eadweard Muybridge demonstrated the power of photography to capture motion. In 1894, the worlds first commercial motion picture exhibition was given in New York City, the United States was in the forefront of sound film development in the following decades. Since the early 20th century, the U. S. film industry has largely been based in and around Hollywood, Los Angeles, director D. W. Griffith was central to the development of film grammar. Orson Welless Citizen Kane is frequently cited in critics polls as the greatest film of all time. T, the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Titanic, Avatar, The Avengers, Furious 7, Jurassic World, and Star Wars, The Force Awakens. Today, American film studios collectively generate several hundred movies every year, muybridges accomplishment led inventors everywhere to attempt to make similar devices that would capture such motion. In the United States, Thomas Edison was among the first to produce such a device, the history of cinema in the United States can trace its roots to the East Coast where, at one time, Fort Lee, New Jersey was the motion picture capital of America.

Elizabeth II
–
Elizabeth II has been Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand since 6 February 1952. Elizabeth was born in London as the eldest child of the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and her father acceded to the throne on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She began to undertake duties during the Second World War. Elizabeths many historic visits and meetings include a visit to the Republic of Ireland. She has seen major changes, such as devolution in the United Kingdom, Canadian patriation. She has reigned through various wars and conflicts involving many of her realms and she is the worlds oldest reigning monarch as well as Britains longest-lived. In October 2016, she became the longest currently reigning monarch, in 2017 she became the first British monarch to commemorate a Sapphire Jubilee. Elizabeth has occasionally faced republican sentiments and press criticism of the family, however, support for the monarchy remains high. Elizabeth was born at 02,40 on 21 April 1926, during the reign of her paternal grandfather and her father, Prince Albert, Duke of York, was the second son of the King. Her mother, Elizabeth, Duchess of York, was the youngest daughter of Scottish aristocrat Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and she was delivered by Caesarean section at her maternal grandfathers London house,17 Bruton Street, Mayfair. Elizabeths only sibling, Princess Margaret, was born in 1930, the two princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and their governess, Marion Crawford, who was casually known as Crawfie. Lessons concentrated on history, language, literature and music, Crawford published a biography of Elizabeth and Margarets childhood years entitled The Little Princesses in 1950, much to the dismay of the royal family. The book describes Elizabeths love of horses and dogs, her orderliness, others echoed such observations, Winston Churchill described Elizabeth when she was two as a character. She has an air of authority and reflectiveness astonishing in an infant and her cousin Margaret Rhodes described her as a jolly little girl, but fundamentally sensible and well-behaved. During her grandfathers reign, Elizabeth was third in the line of succession to the throne, behind her uncle Edward, Prince of Wales, and her father, the Duke of York. Although her birth generated public interest, she was not expected to become queen, many people believed that he would marry and have children of his own. When her grandfather died in 1936 and her uncle succeeded as Edward VIII, she became second-in-line to the throne, later that year, Edward abdicated, after his proposed marriage to divorced socialite Wallis Simpson provoked a constitutional crisis. Consequently, Elizabeths father became king, and she became heir presumptive, if her parents had had a later son, she would have lost her position as first-in-line, as her brother would have been heir apparent and above her in the line of succession

Regina Marie Jenna Fischer is an American actress. She recently starred as Rhonda McNeil in the NBCs new comedy-drama series You, Me, Fischer was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Her mother, Anne, is a teacher, and her father. She has one sister, Emily, a third grade teacher. Fischer attended Pierremont Elementary School in Manchester, Missouri, and Nerinx Hall High School and she holds a Bachelor of Arts in theatre, as well as a minor in journalism, from Truman State University, where she originally enrolled as a pre-law history major. Fischer first began her working in professional theatre. Her performance in the musical adaptation of the film Nosferatu led to her first agent. She struggled to break into film and television, telling NPR that her first paying job was a sex education video for patients upon their release from UCLA Medical Center. In a Myspace blog written specifically to advise actors beginning their own career, Fischer appeared in friend Peter Altons 2002 short subject film Les Superficiales. Fischer met Alton at the Zoo District Theatre group, and he later co-wrote and narrated her self-produced film, in 2003, she held a starring role in The Girls Guide to Summer, a 2003 Instant Films short directed by Instant Films co-founder Charles Papert. While her film career was taking off, Fischer took matters into her own hands, writing, directing and starring in her own mockumentary, LolliLove. The film co-starred her then-husband James Gunn, as well as friends Linda Cardellini, Judy Greer, Lloyd Kaufman and she began participating in The Artists Way, a self-led creativity seminar in book form. From doing that book I got this idea, when we started it, it wasn’t even supposed to be a real movie. It was just going to be a project for James. Utilizing a camera she gave Gunn as a present, she filmed preliminary improvisational interviews with her friends in the faux documentary format that would later bring her fame on The Office. I really feel it was divine intervention that I chose to work in this medium for a year and it was the super best practice I could have ever gotten for the possibility of being on the show. Lollilove premiered at the St. Louis International Film Festival, the hometown of Fischer and Gunn, in November 2004, for her role in the film, Fischer was awarded a Screen Actors Guild Emerging Actor Award. Despite the films contribution to her career, she admitted to a St, before her initial audition, casting director Allison Jones advised Fischer, Dare to bore me

Wedding dress of Kate Middleton
–
The dress and its maker were not formally announced until the bride stepped from her car to enter Westminster Abbey just prior to the service. Noted for its design, symbolism, and expected influence on Western bridal gown trends, replicas of the dress were produced and sold, and the original dress was on display at Buckingham Palace from 23 July 2011 until 3 October 2011 during the annual summer exhibition. Before the day, there was speculation as to what Middleton would choose for her dress. On 6 March, The Sunday Times reported on speculation that Middleton had chosen McQueen designer Sarah Burton and their report stated, A fashion source said that the dress will be a combination of Middletons own design ideas and Burtons deep knowledge and understanding of high fashion. The label and Burton both denied any involvement, Burtons work came to the notice of Middleton in 2005 when she attended the wedding of Tom Parker Bowles, the son of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Burton had designed the gown for his bride, fashion journalist Sara Buys. Burton emerged as the favourite to create the dress amongst bookmakers. David Emanuel, co-designer of the dress of Diana, Princess of Wales, commented to the Canadian fashion journalist Jeanne Beker that McQueen is owned by Gucci. If Kates gone that route, it would be the first time a British-owned house wasnt chosen, and the Italians would have a field day with that. According to Joanna Marschner, Senior Curator of the Historic Royal Palaces, television cameras in Westminster Abbey have meant that those dresses are going to have to live up to those venues and indeed be of a design excellence to bear infinite scrutiny. Official statements noted that Middleton wished to combine tradition and modernity and she and Burton worked closely together in formulating the dress design. As a result, it had widely reported that the dress cost £250,000. The ivory satin bodice was padded slightly at the hips and narrowed at the waist, the bodice incorporated floral motifs cut from machine-made lace, which were then appliquéd on to silk net by workers from the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace. On the back were 58 buttons of gazar and organza, which fasten by means of rouleau loops, the skirt, underskirt trim and bridal train also incorporated lace appliquéd in a similar manner. To partially fulfill the ‘something blue’ portion of the British wedding tradition, the design for the bodice of the dress featuring lace in the style of the 19th Century was the ‘something old’. The facts about the lace are as follows, the effect achieved by the design of the bodice is similar to that of the decorated nets that were popular in the late 19th century, typified by the Limerick and Carrickmacross laces of Ireland. For the latter, machine-made net is used as a basis on which floral, the press release from the Royal School of Needlework states that the technique used in Kate’s wedding dress “was influenced by” traditional Carrickmacross lace technique. However, the technique itself was a different and modern device, floral motifs were cut out of lengths of lace produced on large 19th-century machines

According to Emsley, Catherine had asked for herself to be painted naturally and it shows Catherine wearing a bottle green pussy bow blouse, looking straight out from the picture, smirking, rather than grinning. The artist noted that, if too defined, smiling portraiture occasionally may look like caricatures, Emsley darkened the eyes slightly to match her tunic, the background is also shaded in a similar hue of dark green. Emsley was also keen to draw attention to the texture of her hair. Talking to the BBC after criticism of his work, he noted that he didnt want to overwhelm her face, Emsley said, I dont have lots of things in the background. I do like large faces, I find them strong and contemporary, im interested in the landscape of the face, the way in which light and shadow fall across the forms. To have anything else in there is really just an interference, as Catherines image is so pervasive, he told the media he needed to go past the image on his mind. The process took him 15 weeks with the portrait completed before November 2012, the portrait is on display on the wall of Room 37 on the ground floor of the National Portrait Gallery Contemporary Collections, next to a video of a sleeping David Beckham. It was donated to the gallery by Sir Hugh Legatt with support of The Art Fund, on the day of its unveiling, the painting received considerable press attention from photographers, cameramen, reporters, and art critics and lovers. The portrait divided critics, seen in a light by many. Michael Glover of The Independent described it as catastrophic, and noted that it lacked context, when presented with Glovers comments on the BBC, the artist laughed them off, quipping can he draw. He noted that he believes in his work, and understands that there would be different points of view, some critics believed that the shading below her eyes and her jawline aged her. Waldemar Januszczak of the Sunday Times described the portrait as disappointing, saying that it was pretty ordinary and he made her look older than she is and her eyes dont sparkle in the way that they do and theres something rather dour about the face
